I have to say I pretty much agree with everything Mr March just said. On a note about Vipers being able to do a 180 in .38 seconds. Valkyries can easily do that. With no atmosphere in space there is no need and in fact it is harder to fly like planes do in an atmosphere. Like someone said the only reason they appear to fly in space like they do in atmospheres (much like how Star Wars shows fighters flying as well) is most likely for artistic effect as I would think Kawamori understands the flight physics of space. He probably just wants it too look cool. Having said that though I think how they tuned the flight physics in BSG re-imagined to be realistic in how things would actually move in space is a great thing and I really love it. Babylon 5 also did realistic space flight I believe. If Valks were to be more consistently shown to fly like this then the additions of gerwalk and battroid mode actually make it even more controlled as the engines can be practically pointed anywhere the legs can go so momentum control would be even easier for Valks than Vipers much like RedWolf originally said, the Valk benefits most from its variable nature. Also in BSG, something overlooked, this isn't a tech comparison really just a science footnote but BSG accurately portrays space with little to no sound. There is of course no sound in space because of the absence of atmosphere. A lot of Sci-fi shows just depict natural sound in space because it would be boring to look at otherwise, but BSG does a little better. They don't do it perfect but most of the sound you hear in space on the show is radio chatter and background music which is synced so well with the action. It isn't perfect of course, you hear the engines whirring and the gunfire and some explosions but I like how they seem to be trying to portray space more accurately.

I made that poster once for the ep.14 thread but it went largely unnoticed. I still have the file if Mr. March wants it for his site. I'm having trouble uploading files lately but I think it won't be too much of a problem.

Here we go again, let's do it!! Koko wa sora tobu PARADISE Wasurekaketeru ENERGY NOW HURRY UP Torimodosou ze

For the record I like your Fans only section and I check that out from time to time.

Agreed, leave the original triangle out of it. Megaroad-01 is done, this is Macross Frontier, it is a new show.

Just watched the raw. Good thing I always wait for the HD raws anyway to watch the show as I wouldn't have seen it all this time, lol. I like the episode. Character-centric but it was ok. Development for all the people was good and a lot of setup for next week. Overall, decent episode. Next Deculture is going to be pretty action packed I bet(hope).

It will never be the final (despite that it was the model) even when the final is out in stores it won't be done then. There will always be something someone doesn't like. For that reason though, I like it even more. Even though that is the model there, that fighter mode looks really nice.

March do we have to have a talk about all those various beverages of which you have been drinking far too much? None the less, the man is good with gifs.

Oh don't be that way. Seriously, you walked right into that one. Total Win.

I thought you played Aegis Focker in both VF-X games but in VF-X2 you were newly joined to the VF-X Ravens which would indicate to me he was with someone else in VF-X. I'm not 100% sure you are playing as Aegis Focker in VF-X though as I didn't play that, I just played VF-X2 and you are definitely Aegis there.

I read the prologue, very interested and good start. Can't wait to see more. When Totsugeki Love Heart appeared in text there I couldn't resist playing it on my speaker system while reading that, it works so well. I can see thing being very interesting.

Valkyrie did appear in the show, even though it was Adama's flashback. However making it slightly AU is probably a good idea. Valkyrie could have been near Galactica when the attack originally happened and they could have just not lost the Pegasus. I'm like you, I love ships of many types and I almost cried when the Pegasus was destroyed in the 3rd season like that because I liked her a whole lot more than the Galactica truthfully. Although she took out 2 or 3 basestars as she died so it definitely wasn't a pushover, she died well. MisaForKlan It is called re imagined for a reason. However I actually like the classic Cylons and how they speak. You know there are robotic Cylons in the new show right? You see the human ones more but the centurions are still there. Granted they look different and don't speak (saddening) but they are there. Actually if you watch any of the new BSG then you should watch the Razor TV movie, it isn't difficult to watch without having seen much else of the show, but the most important part is it actually has classic Cylons in it (beautifully rendered in CG) and in one scene they do speak. I have to say when they spoke in that scene I cheered because ever since the new show started I was waiting for a metal Cylon to speak like they once did.

Like I said in the art thread, Klan Klang sounds like Klan if she were a Klingon. I agree with MisaForever on this one, the name is Klan and that is how it is.

Kaifunn annoys me to no end. Marge was somewhat evil but I think even he wasn't quite sure of the implications of his actions. I haven't seen M7 so I can't comment on Akiko. I think Elmo was actually pretty damn good, he just got thrown out to the curb, and no even by Ranka who wanted to go back to him, it was Grace. And then there is Grace herself, she is a bitch. However she seems to do a decent job as a manager, horrible person as in she is a bitch, however she seemed to do good for Sheryl and Ranka's careers even though she just ended Sheryl's. So all in all I voted for Kaifun, who I just can't stand. He is a bad person and manager. Grace is just a bad person, her managing skills seem to be well enough.

Your answer is in the 5 or so posts before this one really. Those 20 or so pages must have blurred together nicely as you were reading all that.

Correct on Battlestar Galactica. The BSG acronym didn't become popular for Galactica until the new series I believe, so it isn't surprising a lot of people don't know what it is referring to, especially if they haven't seen the show. It does all depend on the purpose of the song and scene as dreamweaver said, but Fire Bomber has many types of songs and not all are upbeat. They probably have the biggest assemblage of songs so far out of all the Macross music stars. Totsugeki Love Heart is a good fast paced song but if you want something slow and mellow go with My Soul for You.

Give her some Klingon forehead ridges and that name would work. I agree though, this is wrong.

Tigh's job is to shout "What the Frak!" and get drunk. So that works with me. Though really all of them will probably be saying "What the frak!" because they are suddenly hearing Japanese music. It is interesting your doing this crossover because many times in the past I have wondered about the universe of BSG and thought how similar it seems to Macross in some respects and then I think, wouldn't it be interesting if the Galactica fleet got to Earth it was Earth post SW1. The universe is infinite so Galactica and the Cylons could have easily been jumping around everywhere and never encountered a single Zentradi, Earth Colony ship, SA remnant, or Vajra the whole time. Then there is the similarities between the jump system and fold travel (well the way I see fold travel, which isn't necessarily by Compendium standards).

BOMBAA! Specifically I'd go with Totsugeki Love Heart, that is my favorite Fire Bomber song. It depends on what impact you want the music to have. Each of these artists did different things with their music, it was just along the same lines. Minmei might work for the first time heard or Basara's music can overwhelm them while sounding really awesome, or with Sheryl/Ranka who are entertaining to listen.

They are probably worth the prices charged when they are fixed versions, i.e. no breaking shoulders and stuff that seems to happen on a lot of first releases. Though I hear the new 1/60 VF-1s are pretty good for first release. I'm not the best resource though as I don't own any valks, but someday I will have more money and I will get the ones I want... someday.

I have a built up library of all the episodes Raw and subbed and I can make video clips so if you ever need quick stuff from any episode (including screen shots as I am good at those) then I can help there. In the future to save hard drive space I may end up taking away the raws but for now I keep everything (I may just get an external hard drive to put everything in).

I think this is because what we see on Brera in cockpit is VR. We've seen he is in a traditional looking cockpit briefly when he was hit in ep.13 and it quickly showed Brera was in a normal looking cockpit with a suit and all that for a split second. I think Brera is jacked in like the Matrix almost like the dock controllers in Zion during Matrix Reloaded, sitting in the chairs but controlling the functions in a VR control room. So I bet Brera in the actual cockpit has a 'fold shadow' as I am calling it but we don't see it in his digital cockpit.

I originally saw it as a good avatar because it was sort of a bad ass moment for Ozma. The guns and the nukes don't work so he rips the bugs arm off and kills him with it. However it is funny as well.

That is a point, despite Japanese standards in the future after Earth and humanity was nearly decimated, no matter how well they got back on track later with Zentradi assistance and cloning their ideals may have changed. Mao being older than the man very well may not matter.

That's not a bad idea. Those as Jenius said before me Mao would be considered old for Ranzou. Still though it would solve the love triangle the way Star Wars did it, one of the girls is the heroes sister, lol. It also wouldn't bother me because I have been rooting for Alto and Sheryl. Not that I don't like Ranka, she's great, I just can't see her and Alto together.
